We all do it. We all have pondered what it would be like to win the lotto. To have the perfect house. Spouse. Children. Complexion. But has it ever helped? If so you’ve read one too many Cosmo magazines. (Though one is too many imo) and think that wishful thinking is a synoman for goal…

“Mom…I can’t find it”…”don’t look…clean” she shouted from the kitchen. This did not help me. I needed Barbies left shoe…now. Oh sure I had other pairs but she was wearing a black evening dress. And so naturally she needed her black open toed heals…nothing else would do! And I wanted it to just appear…not work…

Love. We all want it. We all need it. And we all think we do it really well…but what does it look like? When our son Tim was in Jr High he had the aspiration to go to the Air Force academy. Well, how exciting. We even got a call from the secretary to our…

Confession: I used to watch soap operas. Back in the day with Jenny and Greg on “All my Children” I was sure we were all really the best of friends. And in that every soap has a matriarch, Phoebe was theirs. I assumed that I would one day achieve this status with all my children. In…

“I have this Emily, let it go”. “No” I said to God as the crocodiles in a pond, snapped at the air beneath me, “I can’t let go”. It was the same rope I was always trying to walk on. I prided myself in that I walked on a tightrope without ever wobbling between accepting…

During my publicity campaign for my book, someone at Woman’s Day figured out I was attending my daughters seminars.
